Taco's blood has always been easy to change but now it's stupid easy with Fumoto

..kind of made me giggle.. . Don't need to replace the crush washer nor need a tool to drain it anymore.. :

Unlike many autos, the filter is on top so that's easier too  :

Once the filter is replaced, and the drain plug is closed, pour in your favorite oil so your Taco or other cars can have fresh blood again  :

What year is your taco? My 2018 has one of those cartridge filter and it's under the hood.

Gen 2, first year, 2005...

My Santa Fe uses those cartridge oil filter inserts and I don't like it...but it is what it is...

Too much work. Instead of just spin it to remove the old and replace with the new, you have to get the cartridge filter out, put the new one in the metal housing, replace the o-rings, etc.

About $30 eh?  Not a bad gadget. 

For a guy like myself that commutes heavily and frequent oil changes, this might be a game changer for me. 

Although a slow leak has its advantage too.  It just gets messy on the payment to where you park but you keep on adding new oil so your engine be using new oil all the time like a drain and fill method.

Yeah... I didn't care for it either. I was surprised when I changed it for the first time...

I tried to change the cabin filter annually and it was time so I changed it too:

Same goes for the air filter:

The air and cabin filters have no lights to remind the driver when it's time to replace it so I do this as a reminder (just month and year):

These under hood lights has been one of the best add-ons on the Taco  :

Oh yeah, very last step, reset the maintenance light:
